It is a good armor but concerns if you are going to troop a lot and be a clown lol, the abs is quite thin compared to other makers and with the metal brackets used it can crack between the bolts. I helped a bud of mine remove all the metal brackets and replace with elastic and snaps, also glued and strengthened some cracks on the ab and chest plate. That being said my bud does fool and move around quite a lot so it may have put the extra stress on the armor. I have seen many troopers very with theirs, just don't go crazy in it
